At a crossroads

Serendipitie · December 2010

Do I keep doing what I'm doing (which is obviously not working)?

OR

Do I totally go super healthy, cut out caffeine, alcohol, etc. completely with hopes that it might work?

OR

Do I just say FUUCK IT and suck down lattes, drink like a fish, take up smoking, maybe even pick up a crack habit?

My intellect tells me I should be healthier, but my gut is going with the crack.

I tried the super healthy and it didn't work. I say go for the crack!

While I agree the crack route is tempting, I think you should probably stick with being healthy. I do however think you can still go with some caffeine and booze. You need to stay sane after all :-)
Are you still going to see this RE from your ivf cycle?

I find myself at the same crossroads. I wish I had the magic answer. In the meantime, I'm drinking heavily.

What is it that you're currently doing? A mix of healthy and awful? You seem to be pretty conscious of what you're taking in, right?

My vote is going for healthIER. I would personally cut out caffeine and limit booze to maybe a glass of wine once or twice a week, if anything. I kind of subscribe to this conservative approach now.

I might take the holidays to just eat and booze it up, and then go full boar healthy next year.

I do plan on having an appt with the IVF RE to get his insight and then figure it out from there. I would like to have a new job ASAP, so I can take 6 months to get healthy and then be good to go with a new treatment cycle.

Dip ... I have a name of a new RE. You know I was seeing the same that you have been with for your IVF. I haven't done treatments with anyone, but I can get you the info on the new one. I have yet to have a consult (I'm too busy right now with work to take the time off), but he's supposedly has equally as high if not higher results and cheaper prices.

In my experience, healthier made me feel better in general, so I kept at it for the most part, just for the overall benefits.

I really don't think I good crack binge needs to last longer than a couple months. So do one than the other.

I think you should have fun during the holidays and go healthy in the new year.

Hey Kali, Thanks for that but I think we are very happy with Dr Werlin. I don't think my BFN was anything he could have controlled.

I also vote that you should have fun during the holidays then work on being healthy in the new year.

Save the crack for special occasions.

gidge · December 2010

I'm trying to go the healthier route during the holidays (although allowing myself all the booze I want) and will try to step it up once they are over.

Although the crack does sound appealling.....it will use all of the cash you earn and then you may start to sell things around your house!!!!
